The alien landscape is a real picture taken by the Perseverance rover.
Perseverance has been looking for signs of life on Mars since landing on the planet. The Jezero crater was once home to an ancient river and has been explored by the rover.
This scene was taken by Perseverance's MastCAM-Z camera on June 12th and is believed to be the result of millions of years of geological activity. The area is a likely candidate for ancient life.
In addition to Perseverance, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter is documenting the Martian landscape from above.
Perseverance wants to document the Martian landscape and see if it could have hosted life. It has made some important scientific discoveries, such as discovering the history of Jezero's rocks and water through radar, and measuring the speed of sound in the Martian atmosphere.
